Enevu CUBE Mood & Utility LED Light is a great small alternative to bulky lanterns and lamps. This light is very compact and lightweight at only 2" and 3.42oz! It has 3 primary modes: White Light, Color Changing, and Emergency Flash. The white light mode has 3 brightness levels: low, medium, and high. The diffusor makes the light have an even and glare-free shine. The color changing mode slowly cycles through a mesmerizing rainbow spectrum of light and can be locked onto a certain color if desired. Goes from Blues to Greens to Yellows to Oranges to Reds to Pinks to Purples and then back again. The white light can be run for up to 100 hours and is up to 100 lumens of brightness. The SOS emergency flash mode runs for up to 48 hours and serves as a bright flashing beacon when in distress. Enevu CUBE is perfect for both indoor and outdoor settings. It can be used for a multitude of purposes and in many places and is a perfect light, lantern, and flashlight. It even is splash proof with IPX4 water resistance and engineered for toughness and advanced applications. The CUBE consists of the LED base and detachable diffusor. The base alone can be used as a strong spotlight. The base with the diffusor makes the light more like a lantern. It comes with 3x AAA alkaline batteries & a hanging hook and is also compatible with rechargeable batteries.

Teela reading by enevu CUBE Light.

Our Thoughts:
Enevu CUBE is very handy to have around the house and where ever you go. I wish I had more than one because my kids have spirited it away for themselves. They love it and so do I!

It is powerful at its highest setting and this we found is great for many applications. My daughter Teela loves reading books or her Kindle Paperwhite well past bedtime and this is great for doing so in the dark. It is a great book light! We also love this bright white light setting for a flashlight with or without the diffusor. My small old kitchen doesn't have a lot of light at the moment and so I use the CUBE's brightest setting when I am cooking and reading ingredients from my many recipes. This would also be very helpful to brighten a room in power outages.

Some of the other settings are great for other things. My other daughter Zari loves having a nightlight on while she doses off to sleep. The CUBE can be set on the lowest white light setting, cycled through the colors, or set on a certain color for an ambient light that helps keep the monsters away. This ambient soft glow is also great for setting the mood for a romantic dinner or yoga/meditation session. I love using it for when I need a relaxing spa day at home instead of candles.

We are going to have fun using this also for camping, cave spelunking, boating, hiking, backpacking, orienteering, Scouts, etc. in the great outdoors! I love that it is durable, packable, and splash proof. Also, with the emergency flashing mode you can be prepared for anything! This is so much fun to take on trips, vacations, and outings. I highly recommend getting more than one of these because they are so useful!

BUY IT
You can purchase the enevu CUBE for $24.95 on Amazon. They also have other colors (cyan, fluo pink, and black) you can choose from for the base besides white.

Edushape Magic Brix in Motion Review #MagicBrix

I received this product free to facilitate this review.

Magic Brix in Motion is a great travel set of 55 building blocks that interlock together with little plastic nubs. This set also comes with a board so that your child has a flat nubby surface to attach their creations to while on-the-go. This has the same pieces that you know and love in any Magic Brix/Travel Brix set, plus some new shapes that add more motion to your child's creations. These are easily washable and grip-able. You can easily store all the pieces in the box they come in. This box also comes with a handle to easily carry the pieces with you. You can take this set on: planes, trains, and automobiles. It can go with your child to the park, playground, Grandma's house or at home! Great for encouraging: creative thinking, hand-eye coordination, tactile sensory development, visual sensory development, socialization, fine motor skills, and logic & reasoning. Perfect for both boys and girls. Great for little architects, engineers, tinkers, and artists! Great for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) lessons. Recommended for ages 3 and up because of some small pieces and possible choking hazard.

Edushape manufactures quality children's toys and products that promote developmental learning through play. These toys and products help build Gross Motor, Language, Musical, Social & Emotional, Fine Motor skills and much more. Their main focus is for children ages Birth to 5 years old.

What Is Included In the Magic Brix in Motion set:

• 55 Brick Pieces: These are great for open-ended play just about anywhere. They are made from sturdy, soft, and flexible plastic. Two new shapes help create motion! They come in bright colors of yellow, green, blue, pink, purple, and orange. The colors and details of individual pieces may vary from the illustrations.
• 1 Travel Board: Use this to assemble creations to so they won't topple. This is 6"x8" or 15x20cm. Additional boards may be purchased separately.
• 1 Booklet: This shows 10 pictures of things your child can build with the Magic Brix in Motion.
• 1 Box: Sturdy cardboard box opens up to store all the pieces in. Closes securely and has a handle for easy travel.

What We Thought:
The Edushape Magic Brix in Motion set is great for learning more about motion. We used these to teach about Newton's laws of motion in our homeschool. We love the two new bricks: one is used to make things spin or roll forward and one has a joint to make the pieces rotate. The one that spins or rolls you can either wind up the opposite way to make it spin and pull back and let go to make it roll forward. We had fun watching the video above to see these new pieces in action before we constructed our own builds.

This set is also wonderful to take on trips. We love how fast it packs up to bring wherever. The box was the perfect thing to bring them in and had extra room for more bricks too if needed.

The pieces come in a lot of different shapes, sizes, and colors. There aren't just square or rectangular bricks either. There were some that let the blocks attached to them spin, rotate, or roll. My girls made the wind mill from the picture and after it was wound it turned on its own which was cool. We just had to really reinforce the base of it or hold it because the force of the movement made it tipsy. Teela made the triangle from the booklet with the bendy, rotating pieces. We even made the plane that you can pull back and it will go forward on its own if put together correctly. Some blocks had more surface area than others which made building a little more challenging because of how and where they interlock together. We also loved the bright colors the bricks came in.

Teela and Zari playing with the Edushape Magic Brix in Motion.

We liked how simple these were to put together. The pieces are safe and don't poke you while playing with them. My daughters didn't get frustrated at all by building their own things. I did wish that the little booklet of design ideas, which only had pictures of finished creations, had instead step-by-step instructions of builds. Some of the builds proved to be difficult just by looking at the picture to put together, even for me and so I ended up making up my own that was similar. Also, since the colors of the pieces in the booklet didn't match the ones we had it proved a bit confusing for my youngest who is 7 to put together the builds from the pictures. We also found that if you stack the pieces too high or if they are top heavy, they still topple even if attached to the board. Both my daughters still had a lot of fun building things of their own design though with this set.

We highly recommend the Edushape Magic Brix in Motion for ages 3 and older. I like that they are easily cleaned which is a plus and that they are a fun toy for the imagination. These are also well made. I see them lasting a long time. We also love that you can combine other sets of Magic Brix or Travel Brix with this one so you can make a larger collection of bricks to assemble from.

365 Bible Answers for Curious Kids Review and Giveaway

I received this book free to facilitate this review. Affiliate links may be in this posting. Thanks for supporting my blog.

Kathryn Slattery is most well known for her role as contributing editor for Guideposts Magazine. She is also an author to many books, including: If I Could Ask God Anything, My Friend Jesus, Heart Songs, Lost & Found, Grandma I’ll Miss You, The Gospel for Kids and The Grace to Grow. Her newest book is 365 Bible Answers for Curious Kids.

365 Bible Answers for Curious Kids Book

365 Bible Answers for Curious Kids is a hardcover devotional book for kids that answers questions about God, the Bible, and faith. It has 392 pages and it is a small manageable 8"X9" size. This year long daily devotional book helps parents answer these sometimes difficult questions in a way that children will understand. It references Bible scriptures throughout to cover these theological, historical, and faith topics as well. This will cover these as well as Christian traditions, the historic growth of Christianity, how to become a Christian, and what it means to be a Christian in today's world. It also has a helpful index of questions in the back to help you find the question and date easily that includes the following topics: time; God; God’s promises; Jesus; God’s Holy Spirit; the Bible; the Old Testament; the New Testament; Christianity; prayer; the Church; Christian seasons, holidays, and traditions; being a Christian here and now; and eternity. These devotionals can be read on their own at any time, and many include a "Want to know more?" cross-referencing section at the bottom of the devotional for the extra-curious child who wants to learn more. Recommended for ages 7-10 year olds.

A look inside 365 Bible Answers for Curious Kids.

What I Thought:
If your kids are as inquisitive as mine then you might appreciate this devotional. It starts in January and ends in December, covering all 365 days of the year. The 392 pages are loaded with information. Each devotional has a month & day, title question, a scripture, a reading to answer the question, a prayer, and sometimes a "Want to know more?" cross reference.

I was very curious at what questions this book covered, so I went through it first myself and I am very glad I did. There are a lot of information about holidays and saints that I was not familiar with. I believe this book to be of catholic origin because of those references and the question of "What Does the Word Catholic Mean?". I am christian and LDS and so these things were interesting to me to learn and I would be open to teach my kids about them. But, I also found inconsistencies with some of the answers and my church's religious teachings... like for example the answer about the Trinity. In this book it states that God is made up of three people: God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit; but in my religion we believe that the Godhead/Trinity are three separate beings with distinct roles, but all one in purpose and doctrine. There are other inconsistencies as well so I thought it best to not give this outright to my children to read.

This book is not going to appeal to everyone. I feel that parts of this book were not right for my family. I highly suggest that if you do get this book you read it first as a parent to see if it is right for your family.

Canvas On Demand Premium Thick Wrap Canvas + Coloring Canvas Review #mycanvasondemand

I received this free to facilitate this review.

Canvas On Demand makes it easy to turn your photography or art into something more. They have canvases, prints, and personalized gifts that could make your home one of a kind and unique. The ordering process is so simple too. Canvas On Demand has some wonderful ideas for some fabulous gifts this holiday season!

Their premium wrapped canvases are conveyed to be top quality. These offer a ridged, warp-resistant construction, 1.25"thick wrap, an enclosed back, pre-installed hardware, and an extended 2 year warranty. There are 25 different sizes to choose from too. Learn more here.

What I Thought:
I got to pick out a 16x20 Premium Thick Wrap Canvas and a 16x20 or 16x16 Coloring Canvas. I got to personalize the 16x20 Premium Thick Wrap Canvas with one of my own photography pictures. I picked a picture of my horses grazing in our field with a rainbow overhead that I took in April of last year. I thought that this photo would make a lovely art piece for my wall. I selected the Floral Wolf 16x16 Premium Thick Wrap Canvas with White canvas edge. It is a black and white line art of a wolf made out of leaves, branches, flowers and mushrooms. Here are some FAQ about the Coloring Canvases.

Step 1: Upload Your Image

The ordering process was very straightforward. You click the link that I have below to build a 16x20 Premium Thick Wrap Canvas. Then you click on the Order a 16x20 Premium Canvas button and select your photograph or art to Upload Your Image.

Step 2: Edit Your Item

Then after you select your image and upload it you can Edit Your Item. You can choose different options on this page like: orientation, color effects, edge, size shape. I chose the color blur edge, but there are image, black, and white edges also available.

Step 3 & 4: Choose if you would like a Professional Review or Touch-ups done for extra cost.

After this page you have the option of having a professional review and a retouching & enhancement if needed for extra cost...I did not select these options.

Step 5: Add anything else to your cart you would like, make sure options are correct.

I was also ordering a Coloring Canvas, so I chose out of the many to select and picked out my absolute favorite, the Floral Wolf by Aron Gadd. This suited my love of forest flora and fauna. I love how intricate it is. It will be a fantastic addition to my wall when I am done coloring it. I selected the correct size 16x16, white canvas edge, and I only wanted one. Canvas On Demand recommends BIC Mark-It Permanent Markers in a Fine Point tip which can also be purchased with the Coloring Canvas you choose or separately at an extra cost if you don't have your own set of good markers for coloring on canvas. Then I added that too to my cart.

Step 6: Make sure everything looks good in the Shopping Cart and order.

I looked everything over and made sure that my Shopping Cart looked good then proceeded to Checkout.

You will get an email with your order number, status, and information.

You will put in your shipping and billing information, and email so they can send you an email when they have your order number and tracking information when they ship your package.

With flash you can see the enclosed back of the canvases and the pre-installed hardware.

My package took a little over a week to get to me. The box arrived safely on my doorstep. Both canvases were wrapped really well for the travel to my home.

Look how dark the Canvas On Demand print came out from the original.

When I opened the box up and looked at my photograph that they made into a Premium Thick Wrap Canvas I was surprised and a very disappointed at how dark the colors were. The colors looked washed out, too dark, and the definition is not there with the detail anymore. I wish the colors were brighter and more defined on the canvas. I will have to put a spot light on this to get it to pop like the original does.

Floral Wolf not colored on my wall.

The Coloring Canvas was also sloppily wrapped around the frame so the corners stuck out as well. I love the print of the wolf and I can't wait to color it, but I wish that it was wrapped better. These were not museum quality by any means. Maybe though you will have better luck than me.

My Thoughts:

The Good
I received the Ozeri Touch II Digital Kitchen Scale with Microban in Red Engine color. I like the color because it fits in with my kitchen decor and this scale looks very modern and sleek. I was very impressed at the size and how thin it was. This scale has very little thumbprint in my kitchen, unlike my older more bulky scales. I like that it fits just about anywhere. When I need it I can just pull it out and use it. With the Microban antimicrobial product protection I am not worried about nasty growies anymore and the whole surface is easily wiped clean with a slightly damp rag or sponge, then wiped dry. It seemed to be fairly accurate when I weighed yams for our Candied Yam recipe and beans for our multi bean soup recipe and the large display is easy to read. I also liked that it can weigh up to 18 pounds as well. It will tell you when the batteries are low with a LO reading and the compartment they are held in is easily accessible without anything extra.

The Bad
The scale I received had problems with its touch screen.  The on/off...which is the same as the Tare button was very finicky. You are supposed to be able to press the on/off/tare button briefly to turn on the scale and press and hold for two seconds to turn it off. It would not respond correctly for me and I had to try multiple times to get it to work. I wish there was a third button for the on/off instead of it being the same button as tare then maybe the problem would resolve itself. Also, the batteries are the flat, round lithium type. These are not the kind of batteries I just keep around the house and they are expensive to replace.

Indescribable: 100 Devotions for Kids About God and Science Review and Giveaway

I received this book free to facilitate this review. Affiliate links may be in this posting. Thanks for supporting my blog.

Indescribable: 100 Devotions for Kids About God and Science is Pastor of Passion City Church and bestselling author, Louie Giglio's, first-ever children's book. It comes as hardcover devotional book and is illustrated by Nicola Anderson with fun four-color illustrations. Based on Louie Giglio's series for adults called Indescribable and  this book brings the amazing message of God's incredible creation to kids through scientific fact. It lays out the impressiveness of creation with scientific findings, photography, and delightful illustrations. Each devotion includes Scripture, a relevant illustration, a story, a life application, a prayer, and a fascinating science section called "Be Amazed". The "Be Amazed" section includes fun facts to read and science experiments kids can try. Great for ages 6-10.

These 100 devotions encourage wonder at God’s creativity with an in-depth look at...

• Space: Galaxies, Planets, and Stars

• Earth: Geology, Oceans, and Weather

• Animals: from Hummingbirds to Dinosaurs

• People: Our Minds, Bodies, and Imaginations

Inside Indescribable Sneak Peek.

What I Thought:
This devotional is unique and definitely gets you thinking. The science is enjoyable to read about and the topics engaging. I even learned stuff while reading the devotions to my kids! The author does, however, take a very literal view of the Bible which at times can take interesting twists and turns with the "facts". For example the 3rd devotion talks about how dragons were real and mentioned in the bible because of a scripture in Job. This might be stretching it a bit, but the scriptures do make you wonder what they could have been talking about.

The book is very nicely printed. The text is a bit small for my youngest, but still readable. The illustrations are adorable. The full color photos add depth to the awesome facts about science as well.

My kids and I loved reading these devotions and learning about both science and faith. I agree with the author that God is an unparalleled creator with an exhaustive imagination. Indescribable: 100 Devotions for Kids About God and Science  This would be a fabulous resource for homeschool, Sunday School, and other Christian Schools/Programs.

Julie Elias A Girl Like Me Album Review and Giveaway

I received this CD free to facilitate this review. Affiliate links may be in this posting. Thanks for supporting my blog.

Julie Elias is a Christian singer and songwriter who discovered happiness in Christ when being an actress in Hollywood was not making her content. She had fame and appeared in shows like “Grey’s Anatomy” and “CSI:NY”, but she was not fulfilled and felt like something was missing. She turned to God to guide her and Christian music became her voice to encourage others with her stories in song. In 2014, she founded Aurora Ministries, a 501c3 non-profit that creates Christian material and events specifically for teen and tween girls. Through music, booklets, blogging, conferences and girls’ events, Julie has been able to share God’s role in her life - even when she didn’t think He was there - and find common ground to inspire young women all over the world.

A Girl Like Me is her fifth studio album. It will be available on all digital music outlets, including iTunes, on October 27, 2017. This album is a companion to her girls' events and all the original songs on the album have purpose and stories behind them. This album is for women everywhere, regardless of what stage of life. It reminds us all that despite our failures and stubbornness, we need to “still believe a girl like me could be worthy of a King."

What I Thought:
This CD is so open and candid. Julie speaks from experience with her heart. I love the song Unchained because it shows her giving herself to God and letting Him take her burdens away. She spells out her vulnerabilities and lets Him help her through them because she knows He loves her for just the way she is.

We are all flawed, but God loves us anyway. This CD helps us remember that God is with us and will help us through troubled times. He knows us better than I think we know ourselves and He will forgive us of our failings if we let Him.

I recommend this album. It is so inspiring and wonderful. Julie has a beautiful voice and I hope she makes many more albums to share her feelings and faith with.

Ozeri INSTAVAC Green Earth Nesting Food Storage Container Set Review

I received this free to facilitate this review. Affiliate links may be in this posting. Thanks for supporting my blog.

The Ozeri INSTAVAC Nesting Food Storage Container Set is a handy way to store food in the fridge and freezer to keep it fresher longer. This set of containers have lids with a patented one-way valve that that when you press the lid down on the bowl it forces air out of it to create a vacuum seal. There is no need for any extra pumps, motors, or confusing parts. This valve reduces the air volume inside so naturally occurring bacteria is less able to grow. You can also open the valve lever to release pressure and prevent spills and splatters in the microwave. The lid also has a date dial to properly record when you first stored the food and you can monitor the days the food has been in the refrigerator so you don't have any surprises. The wave pattern on the bottom of each container raises cut fruit and vegetables above any water or juices. The set comes with 4 different sized containers with lids: 21 cups (5.0 liters), 12.7 cups (3.0 liters), 6.3 cups (1.5 liters), and 3 cups (0.7 liters). These are BPA-free, stain-resistant, shatter-proof and as transparent. They are also freezer, microwave and dishwasher safe.

Our Thoughts:
These are handy containers that work as described and create a good seal all around the lid when properly used. You can hear and feel the air coming out of the valve when you press down on the lid to seal. To show the bowl was airtight and the lid was secured to the bowl, even before the flaps were snapped into place, my daughter held the lid by the flaps after we produced the seal and it did not release from the bowl right away.

The Ozeri 8-Piece Food Storage System is better than storing food in old sour cream containers or regular containers like I used to because they keep your food fresher longer and you know exactly when you placed the food in the fridge. The dial makes it easier to know when it was stored in the fridge and how long it has been there. I love that I don't have to mark these with masking tape and permanent marker or be oblivious as to how old the food placed in these are. These containers also help save money because you don't throw away as much spoiled food and these are reusable.

Ozeri INSTAVAC Green Earth Nesting Food Storage Container Set Features.

The Ozeri INSTAVAC Green Earth Food Storage Set is great for storing all sorts of food in the fridge and freezer. I love the larger one for leftovers or a tossed salad for my family of 6. The smaller ones are great for raw veggies or fruits and single or double portions of leftovers. The smaller sizes would be great to take in a lunch as well. They are also great for storing prepped ingredients well ahead of time for dinners or entertaining guests.

These neat food storage containers are super convenient, easy to use, and saves: food, money, space and time. I have used these a while now and have noticed no staining, warping, leaking, or sealant issues. I love that they nest together neatly for easy storage in small spaces when not in use. So far these are holding up very well. I recommend these for anyone needing a better storage solution for their food in the refrigerator and freezer and for heating up leftovers/food in the microwave.

Coobie Seamless Bra Review and Coobie Bra Giveaway

US Family Guide provided me with this opportunity and I received this product free from The Coobie Store to facilitate this review.

Coobie Seamless Bras are really the most comfortable and supportive bras I have ever tried. I received a Coobie V-neck Lace Trim Bra in Red Velvet. I am so glad I got to try these bras because I absolutely love them! I am definitely going to buy more. They have sold me on their products. I was skeptical at first about how a one size that comfortably fits sizes 32A to 36D would actually fit me. I am very petite. These bras fit me really well with no sagging or bunching in weird places. I have tried both scoopneck and v-neck with lace trim styles, but my favorite is the lacy one because I love the lovely feminine touch.

These are also very flattering, form fitting, and affordable. Great for maternity, nursing and beyond as the soft, high quality nylon/spandex outer fabric gently stretches, breathes well and isn't at all see through. You can easily breastfeed in these because you can unhook the strap and pull the bra down. Also great for everyday wear, sleep wear, workout wear, yoga, and Pilates. Available in both neutrals, fun colors, and patterns (7+ styles and 50+ fashion colors and patterns)! The back is smooth and seamless with no hooks or clasps. Each bra has removable pads and the straps are adjustable. You can even call them for extra pads or straps. These bras are also available in a full size version fitting up to a size 42D.
